Magic Starting 5: Chuma Okeke Injures Knee; Will He Miss Time?
1. OKEKE OUT?
“That’s the same knee he’s dealt with before,” coach Jamahl Mosley said after the game. “A part of this is being careful so things don’t get any worse. We want to stay cautious with our guys and make sure we try to get healthy bodies back.”
"Okeke, the 16th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Auburn, came into the league just months after tearing his ACL. He made his debut 18 months after he was drafted, playing in just 45 out of 72 games in his "rookie" season, but Okeke was healthier last year, playing in 70 out of 82 games."
2. KD OR AD TO KNICKS?
"The New York Knicks have a master plan to use their theoretical big-market advantage to lure a superstar player to the Big Apple."
3. KAWHI SPRAINS ANKLE
Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard sprained his ankle and has already been ruled out against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
Leonard has played in just five of the Clippers' 18 games so far this season after missing all of last year with a torn ACL.
The Clippers visit the Orlando Magic in two weeks, and there's a chance this ankle sprain could hold him out for the foreseeable future, including the team's annual visit to Central Florida.
